I just re-found this recipe while going through my Mom's old file box. She used to make this quite often when I was a child. She probably found the recipe in the newspaper. This is a quick, easy and delicious recipe using ingredients that I usually have on hand. It's also very versatile as for substituting....I didn't have fresh parsley so I used dried. I only had 1 can of diced tomatoes so I used the can of Ro-tel, which I did have on hand. Also, use any combo of fish/shellfish...tonight I made this using 2 small tilapia fillets and 1/2 lb. of bay scallops, it was a nice combo. This is a great cold weather soup....it will give you the warm fuzzies. I served it with freshly baked dinner rolls, though a crusty bread would be nice too.

This dish is quick, easy, and delicious. I subbed 1 tbsp oil for the butter and vegetable broth for the white wine. I was HUNGRY when making dinner so only simmered the soup for about 10 minutes before adding the fish (mahi mahi) for an additional 10. Dinner on the table in about 30 minutes. The flavors are wonderful and everything comes together nicely. Something to make again! Thanks for posting.
